Hi everyone.

Thanks for the update on new features. It would be helpful if the group could provide some direction on the top 3-5 new features and benefits to users. Are there any new features that might be "first, best or only," for example, to highlight in more detail?
I would say, the top features are
* Experimental support for PVH mode for guests
* Improved ARM support for Xen
* Event channel scalability

Also is there an increase in bug fixes and/or contributions from new companies or individuals? This would help support that the Xen community is growing and diversifying. I know Lars is working on getting an Oracle quote.
I usually put together some contribution stats. I can do an estimate, but this will change slightly when we tag for the release If the timing is bad, I may also be on holidays and will only be able to provide estimates

It's often useful to provide some context around what's driving some of these new features/updates to help illustrate how 4.4 might be deployed and of value to customers (ie. use cases, customer scenarios, etc.). Also, is there a user we could quote who is looking forward to the next release?
I am wondering if the best way is to set up a quick brainstorm call with Sarah. Any volunteers?

Regards
Lars
